    I saw on the news last night that scientists have discovered a solar system that is similar to ours. The system is centred around the star Cancri, which is in the constellation of Cancer. It would seem that a gaseous planet about the same size and composition as Jupiter is orbiting Cancri at the same distance from it as Jupiter is from our Sun. Apparently within ten years we will be able to tell if there are any other planets in this solar system and more importantly, if there is an Earth twin orbiting Cancri in the "habitable zone" that could be able to sustain human life. At about 44 light years away I don't know how we'd get to it even if it is there! Derek Lakin. I wish I was what I thought I was when I wished I was what I am. Salamander Software Ltd.

              .. I'm going home boys!!! Alice thought that running very fast for a long time would get you to somewhere else. " A very slow kind of country!" said the queen. "Now, here , you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place".
